PowerQuery - fill value in column based on condition
Hi Everyone,
I've some problem with creating PowerQuery formula for my data like below:
| Indeks | Description | Value |
| 1 | Opis1 | Test |
| 2 | Opis2 | |
| 3 | Opis3 | |
| 4 | Opis4 | |
| 5 | Opis4 | Test2 |
| 6 | Opis5 | |
| 7 | Opis6 | |
| 8 | Opis7 | Test3 |
| 9 | Opis7 | |
| 10 | Opis8 | |
| 11 | Opis9 | Test4 |
| 12 | Opis10 |
In my excel file, I've got filled column 'Value' only for the first row in the group. I need to create a new column for sheet-like below:
| Indeks | Description | Value | New Column |
| 1 | Opis1 | Test | Test |
| 2 | Opis2 | Test | |
| 3 | Opis3 | Test | |
| 4 | Opis4 | Test | |
| 5 | Opis4 | Test2 | Test2 |
| 6 | Opis5 | Test2 | |
| 7 | Opis6 | Test2 | |
| 8 | Opis7 | Test3 | Test3 |
| 9 | Opis7 | Test3 | |
| 10 | Opis8 | Test3 | |
| 11 | Opis9 | Test4 | Test4 |
| 12 | Opis10 | Test4 |
Row for each group maybe is different for each import.
Any ideas?
Hello JakubWiniarczk
I've prepared a solution for you. This involves replacing empty cells with null and then apply a filldown.
Here the code
let Source = #table ( {"Indeks","Description","Value"}, { {"1","Opis1","Test"}, {"2","Opis2",""}, {"3","Opis3",""}, {"4","Opis4",""}, {"5","Opis4","Test2"}, {"6","Opis5",""}, {"7","Opis6",""}, {"8","Opis7","Test3"}, {"9","Opis7",""}, {"10","Opis8",""}, {"11","Opis9","Test4"}, {"12","Opis10",""} } ), ReplaceEmptywithNull = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value"}), FillDown = Table.FillDown(ReplaceEmptywithNull,{"Value"}) in FillDownCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query

JimmyHi JakubWiniarczk ,
In power query, we can fill the column down as below.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Tc69CoAwDATgd8ncwTbp31O4uJWODm5CfX+k8SKdDj5y4VojT472+xozj3M81F2jAJypwAA2EIAYxAXmn6CaoNHOMiAZFEBGj1Xrogp+g5RfbHlFUz627dqg3l8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Indeks = _t, Description = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Indeks", Int64.Type}, {"Description", type text}, {"Value", type text}}), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value"}), #"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Replaced Value",{"Value"}) in #"Filled Down"Alternatively, We can achieve that by DAX.
Column = VAR a = 'Table (2)'[Indeks] VAR ind = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Indeks] ), FILTER ( 'Table (2)', 'Table (2)'[Value] <> BLANK () && 'Table (2)'[Indeks] <= a ) ) RETURN CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Value] ), FILTER ( 'Table (2)', 'Table (2)'[Indeks] = ind ) )Pbix as attached.
